Ann Coulter was just on Fox and Friends. She was crying over the fact that Romney got decimated in South Carolina. She offered a few talking points from the Romney camp including:

1. Newt is the lease conservative of all Candidates running. 2. Newt is unelectable because of his failed marriages. 3. The Freddy Mac non-issue. 4. John K asked a legitimate question and he is a completely fair and honorable reporter. 5. South Carolina is going back to it democratic roots and backing someone who calls Obama a socialist.

She laid out the establishment talking point that everyone who voted for McCain, will vote for Romney, that we need to get the independents.

She really jumped the shark when she got on the establishment candidate Romney’s bandwagon. I really used to like her, I enjoyed her ‘telling it like it is’ and getting in the liberal’s faces. Something that a lot of Republicans are afraid to do. But then she went all in for Romney. I have no idea why, but I suspect that she’s on the party’s payroll at this point.

Her book sales will drop precipitously.

(We will not sit down and shut up.)

The talking heads are willfully clueless about one major fact: there is widespread, deep, and profound anger at Obama, the MSM, and the elites throughout our society who disdain traditional America. Newt channels and expresses that anger.

Her frequent hysterical outbursts are embarrassing to me as a conservative, doubly so in that we're both women since there's always that narrative that hysteria and women tend to go hand in hand.

She has fallen from grace with me over the past year or so, especially after she became so rabid about the Chris Christie thing. Her unwillingness to let that go told us everything we needed to know about the depths of her conservative convictions. While there's much to admire about Christie, he cannot be truthfully labeled a conservative.

I think I know what Ann's problem is -- she just turned the big 5-0 on Dec 9th.

And to put it delicately her hormones are now going BONKERS due to that 'M thing', which happens to women of that age group. So if Ann would just go see her Dr and get an Rx for 'her condition' she'd come back down to earth. Plus those irritating hot flashes would go away.

On the upside, in her 'condition' it's a good thing she isn't married. With the arsenal she has her hubby could be in for some big trouble for not putting the toilet seat down. [Hell hath no fury like a woman armed ;-)]

Sorry, but I agree 100% with Ann. Newt’s record is not conservative. His “I am going to run a positive campaign” went south the minute he lost a primary. He has huge ethics issues, cheating issues, lying issues and the women of the USA will NEVER elect him. He is toxic.
So, nominate him and feel great about Obama term II.

If you watched the last two debates you saw Romney's glass jaw. He couldn't even handle little Ricky Santorum without getting all jittery and stuttering. He would be gobbled up like an hors d'oeurve by obama and his flunkies in the media.

Rove, Coulter, John Hinderaker, and others who have concluded that only Romney can garner the vaunted independents in the general election are wrong.

It is true that independents elected Obama. They voted for him for the shallowest of reasons-his race. Now they’ve been mugged by the reality of liberal policies’ failures. Independents are now in just as foul a mood as the rest of us.

People are angry and fearful, and this includes independents. For this reason, I believe Newt has a better chance to gain their favor than Romney, because Newt taps into that anger and fear. Newt won the FEMALE vote in SC, for crying out loud. Perhaps when women perceive that chaos is imminent, they go with the dude with the gun?

There’s an entirely new dynamic as relates to the independent vote now, as opposed to 2008. The media, having sold us this bill of goods, no longer have the ability to persuade. The 2010 elections, characterized by liberal media shilling for each and every Dem in local, state, and Congressional races, proved that the media have lost their ability to sway votes. This was the lesson of that election and it is what Coulter, Rove, et al, are missing. They ascribe too much power to the lib media.

Obama has taken liberalism from feel-good bumper-sticker slogans to actual practice, and it is failing miserably.

Independents are giving conservatism another look. Do they like what they see? I’m not sure it matters, they will go with their emotions, and that means they’ll vote for change. And that means Newt, not Romney, is better positioned to garner their vote.

Britt Hume said his negatives were so high that republicans in house and senate dont want to be tied to him and will lose their seats and Newt will lose the house, the senate, and presidency. <<

Close!....but its the RINO’s that are worried.....They know damned well that if Newt gets elected...they're toast!.....They saw what happened in the last election and they're scared to death its gonna snowball if they cant convince the sheeple hes unelectable!!!

Sorry, but I agree 100% with Ann. Newts record is not conservative. His I am going to run a positive campaign went south the minute he lost a primary. He has huge ethics issues, cheating issues, lying issues and the women of the USA will NEVER elect him. He is toxic. So, nominate him and feel great about Obama term II.

Well when the Jon Stewart media decides to poison the well it is because they have purposed it. You think for one minute they are going to roll out the 'red' carpet for wealthy Romney. So drink your media filled cup of mean, bad, sinning, NEWT is toxic and see what they do to the rich man of WALL STREET.

"Huge ethics issues?" He was found responsible for one reporting error, which the House democrats behind the witch hunt acknowledged had originated in his law firm's office. He was still responsible, the buck stopped with him, so he agreed to pay expenses for the investigation-- not a fine, since the House found no financial benefit to the error.

The IRS cleared him of one other charge. Everything else was simply 'rat shit and was dropped. Basically the same thing as what they did to Sarah Palin years later. You think she has "huge ethics issues" too?

Newt has always been the “outsider”, that’s why the RINO ELITEST dumped him and don’t want him back. If you look at spending and earmarks before he became Speaker, his years as Speaker and after he left you’ll find both earmarks and spending were down during his years as Speaker and skyrocketed as soon as he was deposed. He showed what can happen when the “outsider” gets in. He did it once and will do it again.

Coulter, Hume, Krauthammer, Rove et al, claim to be conservative yet they are nothing more than RINOS

Well, I just found out here last night that Hume’s gay son was having an affair with a House enemy of Newt, and somehow in his grieving mind he hates Newt. Maybe it’s irrational hate or maybe Newt was not that nice at the time.

I think she just believes Romney can win while Paul, Santorum and Romney cant.

If she truly thinks that, she's an idiot. Not only can't Romney win, he's going to drive conservatives away from the GOP. And worse, he won't be able to articulate a coherent, positive conservative message in the general election campaign which means that we'll miss out--yet again--on the chance to educate people about by conservative values are superior.

Win or lose, it is most important that we have an articulate candidate to help build the ideological base for future elections. Continuing to nominate failed liberal Republicans like McCain and Romney only hurts us down the line.
